Barbados looks forward to welcoming JetBlue Airways to the island as the value airline prepares to launch new non-stop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown, Barbados, on October 1, 2009. To celebrate the new route, JetBlue has unveiled introductory $99 one-way fares. This special introductory offer is intended for travel to and from the United States, and travel must be booked by June 17th, 2009 for travel taking place between October 1st and November 14th, 2009 on Monday, Thursday and Sunday.
